Better This Way.1

After the tragic loss of Chris Miklos, I made the decision to dedicate this video to him and made of few changes to the original video. While not a whole lot of footage has changed in this .1 version, I did want to improve on the overall color and flow of the video. I hope you like the subtle changes. Chris, this is for you buddy. You are missed by so many my friend!
